Article 5: Delivery and performance of the contractItems ordered through this web shop are delivered to all countries given as an option when filling in the address. Delivery takes place by means of shipment through Bpost or PostNL. Postage costs are charged to GIT, except for deliveries outside Belgium. Unless agreed or explicitly determined otherwise, the goods are delivered to the address of the Customer within 15 days after receipt of the order and the payment. Any visible damage and/or qualitative deficiency of an item or other defect upon delivery should be reported immediately to GIT by the Customer. The risk of loss or damage shall pass to the Customer at the moment in which he (or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by the Customer) has acquired material possession of the goods. However, the risk shall pass to the Customer upon delivery to the carrier, if the carrier is commissioned to carry the goods by the Customer and that choice was not offered by GIT.

Article 6: Retention of titleThe supplied goods remain the exclusive property of GIT until fully paid by the Customer. The Customer undertakes to inform third parties of the retention of title on the part of GIT, e.g. anyone who would come to attach the items which have not been paid in full.

Article 7: Right of withdrawalThe provisions of this article only apply to Customers who purchase goods online from GIT in their capacity as consumers. The Customer is entitled to withdraw from the agreement within a period of 14 calendar days without indication of reasons. The right of withdrawal ends 14 calendar days after the day on which the Customer or a third party other than the carrier and designated by the Customer acquires material possession of the goods. In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, the Customer needs to inform GIT (Delphine Alenuslaan 18 bus B1, 3290 Diest, info@goestingintaal.com) of his decision to withdraw from the contract, by means of a clear statement (e.g. in writing by post or email). For this purpose, the Customer can use the attached model withdrawal form, but this is not obligatory. To comply with the withdrawal period, the Customer needs to send the notification of exercise of his withdrawal right before the end of the withdrawal period. The Customer shall return or hand over the goods to GIT (Delphine Alenuslaan 18 bus B1, 3290 Diest) immediately, or, in any case, not later than 14 calendar days after the day on which his decision to withdraw from the contract was notified to GIT. The Customer is on time if he returns the goods before the end of the period of 14 calendar days. The direct costs of returning the goods are charged to the Customer. If there is, in any way, a decrease in the value of the returned product, GIT reserves the right to hold the Customer liable and claim damages for any decrease in value of the goods resulting from the use of the goods by the Customer that goes beyond what is necessary to determine the nature, characteristics and of the goods. Only returns of items that are in their original packaging, together with all accessories, user manuals and an invoice or proof of purchase will be accepted. If the Customer withdraws from the agreement, GIT will reimburse all payments received from the Customer up to that moment, including standard costs of delivery, to the Customer within 14 calendar days after GIT has been informed of the decision of the Customer to withdraw from the contract. In case of sales contracts, GIT may decide to withhold reimbursement until they receive all returned goods, or until the Customer proves that he returned the goods, whichever occurs first. Any additional costs resulting from the Customer's choice for a method of delivery other than the cheapest standard delivery offered by GIT will not be reimbursed. GIT will reimburse the Customer using the same method of payment the Customer used for the initial transaction, unless the Customer explicitly agreed otherwise; in any case, no costs will be charged to the Customer for such reimbursement.The Customer is not allowed to exercise the right of withdrawal for:

delivery of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium if performance of the services has started with the Customer’s prior express consent, and with acknowledgement by the Customer that he will lose his right of withdrawal (e.g. downloading music, software).

Article 8: WarrantyPursuant to the Act of 21 September 2004 on the protection of the consumers, those consumers have certain legal rights when purchasing consumer goods. This legal warranty is valid as from the date of delivery to the first owner. Any commercial warranty does not affect these rights.

For items purchased online and delivered to the Customer’s home, the Customer must contact the customer service of GIT and return the item to GIT at his own expense.
